Sunday Video Wisdom or Chaos

"There is no evidence that one can become expert in something as broad as decision-making, policy, or strategy...or perhaps even management. ... Large groups of diverse individuals will make more intelligent decisions than even the most skilled decision-maker."

James Surowiecki Wisdom of the Crowds.

Whose the expert, the Surgeon, or the group of patients who survived the surgery? Perhaps both, one in surgical process, the other in recovery.




Who do you trust the expert, the pitch man, or someone in your net work? Is there wisdom in the collective publishing of individuals on You Tube, Facebook, or My Space? All now known as social media enabled by the technologies of Web 2.0.

Is this crowd wisdom or chaos? Settle in and watch.
